There are looks that wound and hurt.
With the key in the latch at home, John,
Drop troubles out of sight;

You know she will come to meet you,
A smile on her sunny face,
And your wee little girl, as pure as pearl,
Will be there in her childish grace;
And the boy, his fathers pride, John,
With the eyes so brave and bright;
From the strife and the din, to the peace, John,
Go cheerily home tonight.
What though the tempter try you,
Though the shafts Of adverse fate
May whistle near, and the sky be drear,
And the laggard fortune wait;
You are passing rich already,
Let the haunting fears take flight
With 1.-THE faith that wins success John,

Mrs, Marion Mcbride, writing to the
Boston Woman's JOURNAL, thus de-
scribes the exceptional career of an
American lady in the management Of a
large Opera Company.
"Mrs. Janette NJ. Thurber, of New
York City, is the originator of the Amer
lean opera, interpreted under the auspi-
ces of the National Opera Comnany.
Mrs, Thurber is very practical woman,
intensely patriotic, and when a child she
INDUCED in day dreams of the time when
operas should be rendered i'll English IN
her native land, and presented with
home surroundings. OF course, when
she spoke of it, people laughed at the
idea Of opera in plain English, but the
determined little person kept her own
counsel, worked out her plans alone,
and as she grew to Womanhood the de-
sire grew stronger to carry forward the
pet dream of her childhood. She felt
that American girls should find their OPP
portunity for study and development at
home, and so, alone, she opened the
school for training opera singers in Eng
fish. Possessed of ample means, Mrs.
Thurber secured the best of teachers,
and slowly her work grew strong and
deep it took root, and during the season
Of 1885, the public presentation Of Amer
lean opera was test of the work done,
an expression of the school.
Mrs. Thurber is a woman of medium
size, with clear complexion, deep blue
eyes, dark brown hair. She dresses
with exquisite taste in a fashion of her
own. She extends to women sympathy
and generous help, while she controls
all business affairs with a firm hand.
Mrs. Thurber is doing grand work for
American women. Her success is an
inspiring example to women workers,
